AgZero 2030 Glaring Gap: Inquiry pointless without climate response Western Australian farmers have labelled the release of the Growing Australia: Inquiry into growing Australian agriculture to $100b by 2030 report, chaired by Federal Member for O’Connor, Rick Wilson MP, a grossly inadequate response to the challenges facing the sector.
